Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to the field of audio processing technology, and more particularly, to an algorithm-based audio optimization method, an intelligent terminal and a storage device.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Currently, an audio processing in a television program is mainly applied to improving a frequency response of an audio device, making a frequency response curve achieve a “flat” effect, to directly reflect a reproduction capability of a voice, so as to pursue an accuracy thereof. A different product has a different response to a different audio frequency, and the flatter the frequency response curve is, the better the reproduction of the audio is. However, a sense of a human hearing has a great relationship with an audio in each frequency band. A different amplitude and a different distribution of a frequency band gives a listener a different feeling of enjoyment. For example, an audio containing a plurality of excessive low secondary harmonics may cause a fatigue to a human ear easily; while an audio from playing a music, such as a western orchestra, may increase a brightness when increasing a volume of about 8 kHz. Thus, pursuing only a processing method of making the frequency response curve flat and the voice accurate may lose an characteristic of the voice, without being able to express the voice perfectly. A commonly used method in the prior art to improve an audio characteristic is, filtering a waveform through a frequency equalizer and adjusting a gain value in each frequency band. Through the frequency equalizer, an auditory effect of a music may be improved, but such a method is only suitable for a manual adjustment according to a personal preference style, without being able to automatically adjust the auditory effect under a plurality of different conditions and in a plurality of different scenes, thus not being able to bring a better auditory effect to an ordinary person at any time.
  • Therefore, the current technology needs to be improved and developed.

  • The Fourier transform is a very important algorithm in a field of digital signal processing. A Fourier principle shows that: any continuously measured timing sequences or signals, may be expressed as an infinite superposition of a plurality of sinusoidal signals on a plurality of different frequencies, and a Fourier transform algorithm created according to this principle uses a plurality of original signals directly measured to calculate a frequency, an amplitude, and a phase of the sinusoidal signals in an accumulated manner.

Various sound sources have various frequency ranges, for example, the frequency range of a great piano is 27 Hz-12000 Hz, a sound of a footstep is 100 Hz-9000 Hz. Selecting the frequency mapping function for any one audio file, may be based on a standard audio source as a matched information standard.
